Recommendations

“Otto was my direct supervisor at Progressive Suspension. He was always one to “embrace” change. He introduced numerous policies and practices that greatly improved our productivity while reducing costs. One of his greatest accomplishments was to streamline our year-end inventory process. He created all of the inventory documentation, and he taught us best practices to use in order to make inventory a much more manageable task. Not only was he my supervisor, he was also my mentor. He encouraged me and the others in my group to always look for opportunities in which to learn new skills and gain experience. He is a very talented professional who knows how to do his job well. He is a no-nonsense person who gets the job done. I highly recommend him for any financial position for which he applies.”

reported to Otto at Progressive Suspension, Inc.

“Nearly 15 years ago the HR Manager at Williams Comfort Products introduced me to Otto. She told me he was the most approachable, down-to-earth financial professional she had ever worked with. I can confirm these attributes based upon my interactions with him since that time. Otto is also an energetic, hands-on professional with extensive experience working in a wide variety of industries. His extensive knowledge of his profession allows him to perform effectively in entrepreneurial as well as corporate environments. His recommendations are well grounded and can be relied upon for meeting industry standards and regulations. I have found Otto to be a strategic thinker with vision that goes beyond that of his discipline.”
